That has nothing to do with the post I replied to and I even agree with western historians / hollywood greatly downplaying the eastern front.

It's been a very common thing recently with Russian to claim the West basically did nothing in WW2.

They are quite literally rewriting history in their classrooms.

Now I won't deny they took the brunt of the force and paid an absolutely huge price in lives.

But op is trying to use WW2 as a way to say the US is bad. That we did nothing and only joined when it was basically over. It's a super common Russian nationalist talking point right now.

Also not sure it would matter unless it was a multi drive array.

Honestly as much as I hate the guy I can kinda see how that could happen.

Sure. Slowly, tediously, at great cost to both the IDF and Palestinian civilians.

And there will be civilian casualties I won't pretend it's possible to not have them. But we are talking about an order of magnitude less then what you're saying it will take.

And advocating for genocide and pretending it's the only solution is insane.

While I believe Israel has a right to defend itself and generally lean towards their side this conflict that is absolutely not a small price or an acceptable thing to say.

6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Your talking about 1/3rd of the amount. Israel was literally created so Jews can defend themselves and prevent another Holocaust from ever happening and you're advocating for a modern day one.

I believe and so do many others that Hamas and other terrorists can be defeated without killing millions.

Well the first claims out by Hamas was 500+ dead and an Israeli airstrike.

Now we are learning it's more like 20-50 dead, landed in the parking lot next to the hospital and was due to a failed Hamas/related groups rocket.

Yeah either way people died but the entire situation has greatly raised tension in the middle east. It could have been responsible for opening up another front of the war with Hezbollah.
